hi guys
4 months ago i bought a set of exhausts of kenny on here TSA.really pleased how they came out
so in a bizarre brain fade moment decided to get them powder coated :otook them to diamond plating in stoke on the thursday.said they would be done on tuesday.great
come friday im having 2nd thoughts :-/so i ring them and say dont bother coating me pipes!anyway theyd been done
shit!
fitted them for a bit and as the coating came off they were looking shabby.
i neede new spigots making for them as im a bit heavy handed with a spanner ;Dsent them to kenny to sort them and he did bless ;D
now unbeknown to me under the powder coating was a "primer" the company had put on.this had to come
ask kenny how tough this crap is remove.
its taken me a week on and off to shift it without taking the ZINTEC coating off the steel.
i used a mixture of a heat gun,paint stripper.craft knife and scotch brite.plus loads of patience to shift the effin stuff
they now need a light metal polishing and refitting
this is how they turned out
thi is how they arrive uncoated from kenny
the moral of the story dont make rash decisions when ya head is full of vodka ;D
